members got together for a ban-quet
at the Commercial Club in
the hunter's room last Thursday
night, May 11, 1950.

EASTERN VOTED
INTO RMIPA
Annual Press Conference
Is Re-established
Eastern Montana College and
Colorado A. and M. were accep-ted
as voting members in the
Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate
Press Association at the annual
conference held in Missoula last
week. Dorothy Dusapin, editor of
EMCOE, and Harry Manuel,
business manager of RIMROCK,
represented Eastern. Other schools
at the conference were: Utah
State, Idaho State, Montana State,
Brigham Young University and
Wyoming University.
At the business meeting it was
voted to start a RMIPA News
Service. Every Friday each school
will mail out to the other member
schools reports of the campus for
printing in their newspapers. The
service will be inaugurated this
spring provided the mailing list
is sent out of Missoula soon
the
Quarterly
once a quarter and
the problems of each
recommendations f r o m ea c h
school on how to solve some of
these problems. It is hoped that
this service will enable member
schools to strengthen their papers.
Election of officers was held at
the meeting. Lorrie MCCreedy of
Brigham Young was elected presi-dent
and Bill Harwood of Idaho
State was elected vice-president
(Bill will be in charge of the
paper judging for next year's
conference). The secretary will be
appointed next fall and will be
from Colorado A. & M., the host
school for next year's conference.
Don Thompson of Wyoming was
elected director of the RMIPA
News Service and Don Graff of
Montana University will be di-rector
of the RMIPA Quarterly.
The curtain will go up on "The
Importance of Being Ernest" at
8:15 next Wednesday and Thurs-day
evenings, May 24 and 25.
Oscar Wilde's three-set, three-act
"trivial comedy for serious peo-ple"
seems to be marked for tre-mendous
success.
Mr. Harshfield, director of the
production, states, "The cast and
crews have shown greater inter-est
in this play than in any other
Eastern production to date. This
interest and the great amount of
work done seem to guarantee a
polished and professional pro-duction."
The actual presentation will cli-max
more than seven weeks of
strenuous work by the nine-player
cast and a crew of forty. There
will be three sets, the first three-set
play in the history of Eastern
dramatics.
A mix-up in given names pro-vides
the theme for this Wilde
comedy. The time is 1890. The
characters are from the aristo-crats
of England. Period costumes
and dialogue add to the setting.
Wilde's plays have been recog-nized
as some of the finest in the
theater, "The Importance of Be-in
Ernest" is probably his best-known
drama.
Tom Keating and Otis Pack-wood
are cast in the title roles.
Donna Dunn and Jan Hartley
provide the love interest. Peg
McCollough is the devastating in-fluence.
Curt Andrews and Mau-reen
Demars ably play the sup-porting
roles. Bob Argo and Jim
Filbrandt round out the cast.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE
CONFERENCE AT MISSOULA
As Reported by Harry Manuel
One of the highlights of the
conference came at the business
meeting. Colorado A. & M. had
accepted the conference for next
year, had two men up for office,
and had voted throughout the
meeting. Toward the end of the
meeting, as the constitution was
being revised, the president read
off the names of the member
schools only to find that Colo-rado
A. & M. had not yet been
accepted as a voting or active
member of the conference.
NOTICE
If sufficient interest is shown by the students of Eastern, a
summer supplement to RIMROCK will be published and mailed
during the summer quarter. This supplement will contain all
social activities of spring and summer quarters, spring sports,
commencement activities, etc. The price will be $1.00. The
supplement will be made to fit RIMROCK and will maintain
the general design of the yearbook.
I am interested in a Summer Supplement for RIMROCK:

enough. Another service set up at
meeting was the RMIPA The banquet was held in the
which will be printed Mirror Room of the Hotel Mis-soula.
Immediately following the
will publish banquet all delegations left for
school and home.
Eastern Montana was the small-est
school represented at the
meeting and it was fairly hard for
the delegates to take too much
part in the discussion, as here at
Eastern we do not have the fa-cilities
that the other schools
have. We did sit in at all the
newspaper meetings, however,
and we did get lots of ideas that
we hope can be used in the EM-COE
starting next fall.
One of the major highlights of
the trip was seeing President
Harry S. Truman. He spoke to a
crowd at the depot at Missoula,
Friday morning. Still another
dignitary seen while on the re-turn
trip to Billings was the Eng-lish
Ambassador to the United
States, Sir Oliver.
All in all the trip was very suc-cessful.
The results from the en-
, tire convention will be put to use
in the future in EMCOE.

Scheryer and Gleason with
Christensen behind the bat. The
two Carroll pitchers allowed 3
runs on 6 hits.
The final game between Mines
and Havre was somewhat of a
trackmeet for Mines. Three Nor-thern
pitchers, Roots, Kuhr and
Wynne, allowed 17 runs on 9 hits

Gentry and Reynolds, allowed 9
runs on 12 hits and 3 errors. The
two receivers were Lee for Mines

members got together for a ban-quet
at the Commercial Club in

night, May 11, 1950.
Dr. H. A. Pressman, Billings
dentist, spoke on "Future Schools

EASTERN VOTED
INTO RMIPA
Annual Press Conference
Is Re-established
Eastern Montana College and
Colorado A. and M. were accep-ted
as voting members in the
Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate
Press Association at the annual
conference held in Missoula last
week. Dorothy Dusapin, editor of
EMCOE, and Harry Manuel,
business manager of RIMROCK,
represented Eastern. Other schools
at the conference were: Utah
State, Idaho State, Montana State,
Brigham Young University and
Wyoming University.
At the business meeting it was
voted to start a RMIPA News
Service. Every Friday each school
will mail out to the other member
schools reports of the campus for
printing in their newspapers. The
service will be inaugurated this
spring provided the mailing list
is sent out of Missoula soon
the
Quarterly
once a quarter and
the problems of each
recommendations f r o m ea c h
school on how to solve some of
these problems. It is hoped that
this service will enable member
schools to strengthen their papers.
Election of officers was held at
the meeting. Lorrie MCCreedy of
Brigham Young was elected presi-dent
and Bill Harwood of Idaho
State was elected vice-president
(Bill will be in charge of the
paper judging for next year's
conference). The secretary will be
appointed next fall and will be
from Colorado A. & M., the host
school for next year's conference.
Don Thompson of Wyoming was
elected director of the RMIPA
News Service and Don Graff of
Montana University will be di-rector
of the RMIPA Quarterly.
The curtain will go up on "The
Importance of Being Ernest" at
8:15 next Wednesday and Thurs-day
evenings, May 24 and 25.
Oscar Wilde's three-set, three-act
"trivial comedy for serious peo-ple"
seems to be marked for tre-mendous
success.
Mr. Harshfield, director of the
production, states, "The cast and
crews have shown greater inter-est
in this play than in any other
Eastern production to date. This
interest and the great amount of
work done seem to guarantee a
polished and professional pro-duction."
The actual presentation will cli-max
more than seven weeks of
strenuous work by the nine-player
cast and a crew of forty. There
will be three sets, the first three-set
play in the history of Eastern
dramatics.
A mix-up in given names pro-vides
the theme for this Wilde
comedy. The time is 1890. The
characters are from the aristo-crats
of England. Period costumes
and dialogue add to the setting.
Wilde's plays have been recog-nized
as some of the finest in the
theater, "The Importance of Be-in
Ernest" is probably his best-known
drama.
Tom Keating and Otis Pack-wood
are cast in the title roles.
Donna Dunn and Jan Hartley
provide the love interest. Peg
McCollough is the devastating in-fluence.
Curt Andrews and Mau-reen
Demars ably play the sup-porting
roles. Bob Argo and Jim
Filbrandt round out the cast.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE
CONFERENCE AT MISSOULA
As Reported by Harry Manuel
One of the highlights of the
conference came at the business
meeting. Colorado A. & M. had
accepted the conference for next
year, had two men up for office,
and had voted throughout the
meeting. Toward the end of the
meeting, as the constitution was
being revised, the president read
off the names of the member
schools only to find that Colo-rado
A. & M. had not yet been
accepted as a voting or active
member of the conference.
NOTICE
If sufficient interest is shown by the students of Eastern, a
summer supplement to RIMROCK will be published and mailed
during the summer quarter. This supplement will contain all
social activities of spring and summer quarters, spring sports,
commencement activities, etc. The price will be $1.00. The
supplement will be made to fit RIMROCK and will maintain
the general design of the yearbook.
I am interested in a Summer Supplement for RIMROCK:

enough. Another service set up at
meeting was the RMIPA The banquet was held in the
which will be printed Mirror Room of the Hotel Mis-soula.
Immediately following the
will publish banquet all delegations left for
school and home.
Eastern Montana was the small-est
school represented at the
meeting and it was fairly hard for
the delegates to take too much
part in the discussion, as here at
Eastern we do not have the fa-cilities
that the other schools
have. We did sit in at all the
newspaper meetings, however,
and we did get lots of ideas that
we hope can be used in the EM-COE
starting next fall.
One of the major highlights of
the trip was seeing President
Harry S. Truman. He spoke to a
crowd at the depot at Missoula,
Friday morning. Still another
dignitary seen while on the re-turn
trip to Billings was the Eng-lish
Ambassador to the United
States, Sir Oliver.
All in all the trip was very suc-cessful.
The results from the en-
, tire convention will be put to use
in the future in EMCOE.

even though she doesn't know a
girl is bad and beautiful. thing about the profession. As a
is sweet and good. matter of fact she gets the jitters
think I'd trade my girl at the mere thought of performing
before anyone; so you see, she
does have a problem.
Because she helped a lot in dec-orating
the lounge, Anita thinks
that everyone has mistreated it.
One has only to look at the scrat-ches
to see that what she says is
true.
While here at Eastern, Anita
has been president of the Art
Club, a member of the Student
Council, and a member of the
petitioning Spurs. The friendliness
of the students has always im-pressed
her more than any one
other feature.
We wish you all the happiness
that should come to a girl as nice
as you, Anita. Work on that am-bition
of yours so that someday
we can say "we knew her when."

DID YOU KNOW
THAT:
Bonnie Barr recently received
that "glimmering" ring from
Keith Lathom of Billings? Best
of luck to both of you.
Eastern's Quintet sang for the
North Park P.T.A. on Thursday
evening. Just a note of warning
to other songsters—when you ac-cept
an engagement, be sure you
ask if they have a piano! Guess
why?
Corky Winzeler tried to move

Mr. Davidson daily greets his
Music Methods class with a cheer-ry,
"Hi Muttonheads!" It is noth-ing
to go in and find them (the
class' working with blocks and
tooting all sorts of tonettes, sym-phonettes,
etc. Second childhood?
The groans, aches and pains in
the school belong to the music de-partment
people. I suspect they
ate too much on the music de-partment
picnic Monday night!
It seems some of Eastern's men
have receeded into childhood by
using squirt guns that are not in
keeping with the adult aspects
of the school. I think college
students should be above that
sort of thing, don't you?
BAND PARTY
After the very successful con-cert
played by the Eastern band,
the members were entertained in
the Student Lounge as a gesture
of appreciation for the many long
hours spent by them in playing
for the school activities during
the year. Refreshments were
served and an entertainment of-fered.
Urgent?
J. Sessions: "Gee, there was a
fire at our house last night!"
B. Cattnach: "Really, who got

Hats were invented 5000 years

that the hat check girls in night
clubs could earn a good living.
